Why is Janmashtami on Wed 17 Aug in Chahārbāgh?

Janmashtami is on Wed 17 Aug: Ashtami touches nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 02:06 Wed. Ashtami: 02:06 Wed to 00:26 Thu.

Ashtami holds nishitha only until 00:26 Thu; then Navami. Ashtami: 02:06 to 00:26 Thu.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 02:06 on Wed 17 Aug to 00:26 on Thu 18 Aug, so it touches only Wednesday night’s nishitha (23:49–00:32 Thu). Every reading takes that day.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
